Michael Bay Leaves 'Transformers' Franchise
Alex C:
The bits about the movie sucking are pretty much spot on though.
rynne:
Oh wow. This movie's currently got the lowest Tomatometer score of anything Bay's directed. And since his resume includes Pearl Harbor and Bad Boys II, that's saying a lot.

--- Quote from: Toronto Star ---Before getting into the booms and boobage of director Michael Bay's latest sensory assault, let's note that the man has no use for 3-D.
He considers it "a gimmick," and with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen he makes a solid argument that eyes can be popped, eardrums shattered and hormones set ablaze without goofy glasses.
This second chapter of the shape-shifting Transformers saga, arriving in theatres at midnight tonight, once again turns boys' toys into movie behemoths. It delivers full-bore "Bayhem" like a brick to the forehead, with some tender love on the side, making this either the summer's biggest blockbuster or history's loudest romance.
The lack of a third dimension might actually be a public service, since watching this movie is akin to lying on the tarmac at Pearson International while a revving Airbus A380 rolls over you.

I laughed pretty hard at this over my toast and juice this morning. I never intended on seeing it, but even the Star, which usually gives terrible movies decent reviews, said it was terrible. Personally I'd rather watch a movie than be attacked by it.
Reed:
I can absolutely see Michael Bay trying to pick up women in some club by offering to give them a little 'Bayhem' in their lives.

And that review is why I love Roger Ebert.
